Giving a Parson Points.

A young man who recently graduated
from an Eastern theological school
went out to Murray, in the C,:ur
d'Alene country, to take charge OF
church. The largest gambling-hall n
town was cleared for his : .commoda-
ton the first Sunday, one table on
which Spanish monte was usually dealt
being left for him to stand behind. 4
large stock-register book was laid on
this, which was supposed to represent
the Bible. The whole town turned out
and the young divine preached pow
erful sermon In it he strongly de-
nounced gambling, horse-racing, drink
ing, and profanity. That afternoon he
was called on by committee Of lead
ing citizens, one of whom said:

The Masculine Girl.

The sad thing about it, says an East
ern exchange, is that the girl is max
ing an ass of herself, to use one of her
own expressions, and in just this way:
Every thing carried to its extreme be-
comes its contrary says Hegel, and
the girl beginning with the masculine
costume goes or to please men more
and more by adopting their slang and
even their freedom of manner. The
girl does not see that. Although men
are amused by it, they are not made
more respectful and courteous thereby.
She only sees that she is favorite
with men, that she always has partners.
and escorts and is invited everywhere
Men are at their ease with her, but, We
gods and little fishes there is a mighty
difference between the girl one loafs
and smokes with and the girl one pre-
fers for wife or a mother.
The very fashion that in moderation
was charming, in excess is disagree
able. The slangy, lolling, sprawling
men-hunters-and some girls OF the
period are little more than that-!,ave
spoiled the liberty which it was de-
| lightful to see women accepting IN
moderation. There is liberty that
makes US free and liberty that makes
us slaves, and the girls who take llber-
ties with modesty Of speech and man
ner, and who cross we'll over the border
into masculine territory, are not more
free but more slavish than before. And
the appreciation of men, which IS the
end in view, IS lost by the very means
taken to gain it. There is one young
woma in Boston who has been belle
for two winters. One day she remarked
to the writer that now she was obliged
to do the marketing: that her mother
had always done it, but at last ma
kicked" When the writer said o
friend of that Young woman til she
would not get married for severaI ears
unless she changed her manner: he
was told that she received more atten-
ton than any girl in Boston. Never
theless, that young woman has had two
seasons and is still disengaged. She is
type of the short-siShteiness OF some
of her sex. She has men about her in
plenty. and she shall have music
wherever she goes," but men are letter
than they appear. At bottom men love
kindl ness, gentleness, modesty, purity
in act and thought in women.

CHE MOONLIGHT NIGHT.
BY JAMES FR.iNhLIS FITS.

The apple orchards of Mr.. Peck and Mr..
Norris were adjacent to each other. Each
comprised about thirty acres; and the fruit
laised in them was not eXcelIed IN the
country. These orchards, IL fact, were
models OF pomoloey, aud people intsres;ei!
In that pursuit came from considerable
distances toinspect them. They were alike
as to gene '"ppearance and mum er and
varieties es. Their owners were alike
in nothing, and resembled each other less
in disposition than IL anything else. ILlS
difference Will be best illustrated by con-
versation that occurred between them when
they met in the road one pleasant October
day.

here"
Mr.. Norris looked amused.
